Yeah right that would probably be even better, because it would be just one 
shortcut for both.

@Manuel: To achieve that, you just need to add the data-provider you wrote to 
the normal list of data-providers for files, enable it by default, make sure 
it's at the top of the list, and give other icons and maybe a text 
like "Currently open, last edited at ..." as htmlDescription to the items.
